Scully said the Dodgers' rise from last to first in the National League West Division and the continued support of his wife Sandi were among the factors prompting his return.

"Vin Scully is more than the voice of the Dodgers," Mayor Eric Garcetti said. "L.A. Little Leaguers hear his voice when swinging for the fences and as adult, we hear his voice during those big moments in our lives. Vin Scully transcends L.A.'s ever-changing 'A List.' In his seventh decade here, he is an icon to grandparents, parents and our kids and earns new fans with each new child who tunes in to their first Dodgers game."
